Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.

Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.

They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.

Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.

Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy.

I will teach you the Truth and the Path leading to the Truth.
